Mixtape Question - Labels

IP: 33DE 730C

What do you people think about us putting labels on the cds? I talked to someone and they said just the cdr with no label would be fine. The positives for the labels would be that people would be able to pick out the cd easily and the album titles will be printed on them. Downsides would be they may eventually come off and cause problems for car cd players, or cause the cd to become unbalanced. Any opinions? Just wondering if it'd be worth the time to order labels and apply them to the cd.

well some labels arnt' even that bad, all you need is a local paper place
or something or you can do it if you have the programs, paper.
but dont do it ghetto style with a sheet of computer paper and sticky paste
thats when it isnt worth it.
if you can make it at least professional lookin it'd be good. presentation has a lot to do with descisions.

It'll be standard cd labels printed with a laser printer... sorry no color inkjets here. I've gone through literally 3-4 inkjets in the last few years with them breaking with barely any use. No computer paper and elmer's glue either. That'd be even more work. I'm lazy and had even brought envelopes with the self-adhesives so I don't have to sit around licking all the envelopes.

Anyway You CAn Get A Graphixs Head To Do Covers and Back and Just Send Them With The CD?? Like How Many Copys of The Mixtape We Order, You Send As Many Covers and Backs.

Then Its On Us To Buy The Whole Case and Put The Covers and Backs In Ourselves.

Just A Suggestion.

I think that labels will make it look a lot better and more professional..

But they should probably be kept fairly simple.. Nothing funky, just say what the CD is with a track list and bobs your unkle.. Maybe add a picture and logo aswell..

They add a nice touch in my opinion.. I'm just annoyed that I'm getting a new mic in the next week and its too late to use it and re-do my track for this mixtape.. -_-

Shit happens..

Well it will kill your ink supply, so really if you are willing to spend the money. Nothing tacky though. You still have me down for a copy right strobe?
